🚢 Production Update: Shipping Delay & Promo Card Issue
7 months ago – Wed, Nov 05, 2025 at 11:05:18 PM



Dear Backers,
We apologize for the delay in communication. Our team just returned from SPIEL Essen (Germany) last week and immediately participated in another local event — thank you for your patience during this busy time.
We originally scheduled the game to be shipped around October 22nd, which was the earliest available vessel booking. However, while we were in Germany, we received unexpected news from the factory:

The shipment that was supposed to be sent to our fulfillment partner was mistakenly shipped to Thailand instead.
This means that all game boxes at the factory were shipped without the promo cards inside.


🃏 Promo Cards Reprint & Repacking in Progress
We have urgently instructed the factory to:
  • Reprint all the missing promo cards
  • Reopen and repack every single game box to include them
The factory has already confirmed that this process is underway, and the games will be ready for shipment again very soon.

📢 What Happens Next?
Once our crowdfunding team returns from China, we’ll post an official update via the campaign page.
 (At the moment, I personally cannot access the backend to post it myself.)
We truly apologize for this delay and for any inconvenience caused. Thank you again for your understanding and support — we’re doing everything we can to ensure you receive a complete and high-quality product.

📦 September 2025 Fulfillment Update
9 months ago – Thu, Sep 04, 2025 at 11:22:53 AM

Hello Backers,

We’d like to provide you with an important update on the shipping timeline for Age of Automaton. The games are nearly ready, and we anticipate that shipping will begin approximately one week from now

Why the Delay?
We sincerely apologize for the delay and want to be fully transparent with the reasons behind it:

1. Adding Stretch Goals & Promo Cards
The base game was already in production (and even available at retail in some regions) before our BackerKit campaign began. Thanks to your support, we were able to produce all unlocked stretch goals and a brand-new promo card — The Automaton.

To ensure every backer receives the complete experience, we had to open and re-pack every game box to include these components. This careful process has taken more time than expected, but we believe it’s worth it to deliver a truly complete and premium game.

2. Compliance with New EU Regulation (GPSR)
The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), which came into effect in December 2024, requires updated packaging and safety compliance for all products shipped into the EU. We’ve been making adjustments to our packaging to meet these new standards, and that has added some time to our production timeline.

What Happens Next?
We’re now working closely with our fulfillment partner to finalize the packing and shipping process. You’ll receive another update as soon as the first wave of shipments goes out.

We’ve also reached out to a small number of backers to confirm details about their pledges.
 📧 Please check your inbox (and spam folder) for an email from:
[email protected] — in case we need to clarify anything before shipping.
Thank You 🙏

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We’re incredibly excited for you to receive your copy of Age of Automaton, and we hope it will exceed your expectations.

🎲 Until then — happy gaming!
